Perhaps the Repubs are thinking long term and trying to position themselves for 2016.

The debt will still be a big issue in 2016 and the Repubs may just be using this campaign to try to stake their ground as the anti-debt party.

It's a hard sell since 2/3 of the National Debt was added by Repub presidents - but maybe in four years they'll have more credibility on the issue.
